From the Author
While accessing wealth does play a significant role in the reirement plan that I introduce here, it is not the only element of "retirement."
During my days of struggle, I wanted financial security, but I also desired to be fearless, balanced, have healthier relationships, and live at my spiritual, emotional, and physical best--the complete package of success. And in this book I share with you how I found it.
I am honored that you are choosing to allow me to help you realize your potential as so many others have. I am confident that if you follow along closely you will not be disappointed, and together we can look forward to your success. Now let's get busy once and for all. My friend, it is your turn!
Maximum Respect, Asha Tyson
About the Author
Born the only child to a single mother who was dying presented significant challenges. Asha eventually was left with no one. Having no place to go and no support system at the age of 17, Asha lived abandoned and forgotten -- homeless. As a child, her restless energy and failure of adults to recognize her phenomenal abilities resulted in her being labeled "a problem child.
Neither abuse or neglect derailed Asha from her dreams. With poor grades, no connections, no plan and no financial aid, Asha went to college and obtained both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in record time. Through persistence and determination, she later launched a professional career and served as a higher education executive. However, after feeling unfullfilled on that path, Asha rose to the challenge of discovering for herself the secrets for obtaining freedom and wealth. Her search would prove to be successful by affording her the luxury of retiring at the tender age of 26!
Now in her soon-to-be bestseller, "How I Retired at 26!," she shows you how to unveil and live your best life no matter what.

They were saying, I'd done well for myself...even got my own dot com. And they always knew I could do it. Funny thing is, no one ever let on.
Really now, who could have known when I was a child, alone in a homeless shelter,that one day the phones would ring off the hook; there would be a demand for my time; keynote speaking opportunities all over the country would overwhelm the calendar, and social events would mount on the desk?
I gotta tell you; I still think about how it came to this. Me, this life--complete with a solid state of well being. You know, good health, loving relationships, self-expression and financial freedom...retirement. None of it is less than a miracle when you consider where I started.
There was very little evidence in my growing up that supported a life of promise. But my story, not unlike many other successful people, will demonstrate that it doesn't matter where you begin. Your past, your misfortunes, your circumstances don't define you--unless you let them...

Her own rise from homelessness to prominence deems her an expert on personal success. Born the only child to a single mother who was dying from Sickle Cell Anemia presented significant challenges. Although her mother had good intentions, her life deteriorated right before her young daughter's eyes leaving Asha with no one. Having no place to go and no support system, at the age of 17 Asha lived abandoned and forgotten -- homeless until she was able to secure shelter in the basement of a church. As a child, her restless energy and the failure of adults to recognize her phenomenal abilities resulted in her being labeled " a problem child".
